Course Curriculum
Course Objectives (B1-B2)Course Objectives (B1-B2)
Upon completion of this course, participants will have developed their Norwegian language skills to an independent and advanced level (B1–B2). They will be able to understand, discuss, and reflect on complex topics related to society, culture, and current affairs, while communicating with greater confidence, accuracy, and fluency.
Participants will be able to comprehend nuanced and detailed content in complex texts, radio programmes, and podcasts covering a wide range of topics, including housing, parenting, personal finance, literary classics, historic sporting events, technology, and political systems. They will also be able to express and justify their opinions in a clear, well-structured manner, discussing both everyday topics such as online dating, public health campaigns, and holiday traditions, as well as more abstract issues including financial hardship, artificial intelligence, and future environmental technologies.
In writing, participants will progress from simple descriptive texts to producing formal, genre-appropriate writing, including argumentative essays, complaint letters, insurance claim reports, and extended reflections on literature and social issues. They will develop the ability to write with greater coherence, precision, and stylistic awareness while adapting their language to different audiences and purposes.
The course also strengthens participants' sociocultural competence by exploring distinctive aspects of Norwegian society and culture, such as greeting customs, the russefeiring graduation tradition, and Taco Friday, while examining topics including minority history, national heroes, and the opportunities and challenges of the Norwegian welfare state.
To achieve greater fluency and linguistic precision, participants will master advanced sentence structure, cohesive devices, punctuation, and the nuanced use of Norwegian verb tenses, including the distinction between the simple past (preteritum) and the present perfect (presens perfektum). They will also build a broad and sophisticated vocabulary that includes idiomatic expressions, synonyms, antonyms, and nuanced language, enabling them to communicate spontaneously and effectively in professional, academic, and everyday settings.

Nina Brigitte Langtvedt
5.0 Instructor Rating
Nina Brigitte is an experienced Norwegian language teacher with a passion for helping adult learners achieve their language goals. Through years of teaching and examining candidates at the B2 level, she has developed a practical and supportive approach that gives students both the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. She has worked with Norwegian language instruction, primarily at the B2 level, for many years, both in adult education and at Note. In addition, she has extensive experience as an examiner for both the written and oral B2 Norwegian exams. Her goal is to teach her students everything they need to pass the exam. She believes it is important not only to explain the grammar, but also to help students understand why the language works the way it does, rather than simply telling them that “that’s just how it is”. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is hearing from former students who tell her that they have achieved their dream of passing the B2 exam.
